As she falls into a body of water, Brooke lets some of her life energy leave her and enter into the water. The water buckles and raises up to deposit Brooke onto dry land before swirling around her, glowing eyes and whiskers forming from the water. The Lake Lord has awoken.
The Lake Lord is a spirit. It is bound to its lake, but it learned how to split off fragments and send them far away, then reabsorb them when they return. After a terrible accident renders the Puddlings unable to return to the main body to join the whole, Brooke must take up the task of finding and returning them all so that the Lake Lord may become whole again.

Most people assume Baphomet is Vita’s familiar. He's not. He’s older than that term. He’s not here to serve—he made a deal. One that stitched his fate to Vita’s heartbeat. When she made her wish, the realms cracked open, and something lonely and fanged slipped through. Now he won’t leave. He eats her leftovers, naps on ancient artifacts, and commits minor crimes when unsupervised. She wouldn’t trade him for anything.
When summoned, Vita’s shadow stretches unnaturally long, curling at the edges like smoke. A soundless pressure ripples through the air, like a breath being held too long. From the darkness coils a black-furred cat with star-flecked markings and an infuriating grin. Tiny horns glint above his eyes, and when he takes flight, leathery wings unfurl from his back like forgotten pages of a forbidden book. He lands with the weight of inevitability and the smugness of someone who’s always right.
Baphomet isn’t a summon. He’s a consequence. A fanged pact stitched into Vita’s soul when she gave up her voice and made the mistake of longing out loud. Bound not by spell or leash, but mutual understanding, Bapha walks the line between infernal companion and spiritual parasite. He's not just intelligent—he’s opinionated, meddling, and deeply invested in keeping Vita alive, mostly because he doesn’t want to go back. Where she goes, he follows, uninvited but indispensable. Their connection is deeper than magic. It’s blood, debt, and unspoken love, forged under moonlight and written in claws.
